A man has started a sing-a-long selfie trend which has spread a bit of festive cheer.

Up for the laugh, Brian Hughes, says he was a bit down in the dumps, recovering from a cold and fed up of reading depressing Facebook status’s, when the 1999 feel good No Scrubs track by TLC came on the radio.

The 32-year-old LFC fan initially sent the ‘taking the mickey’ video of himself singing along to a group chat between footy mates.

Brian said: “I’ve just got over a cold and when you start recovering, you feel great and I wanted to share that with the footy lads, Liverpool Echo reports.

“When I went on my Facebook there was so much doom and gloom on my feed so I thought why not share this in the hope of starting a sing-a-long selfie - singing your favourite track and sharing to cheer others up.

“Everyone gets so down and fed up with the cost of Christmas - let’s bring some lighthearted banter back.”

Brian, who works at Liverpool Road Laundry, in Huyton, had pulled over in the car to film this footage and now says he hopes others will continue and share the trend.

He’s tagged his mates in the video and promises they will take part in the sing-a-long selfie - watch this space.
